Inspired by the fading language and presence of a mother lost to dementia and aphasia, Fading into Bloom is a meditation on memory, grief, and the quiet unraveling of identity. Through unflinching verse, Cheryl captures the ache of watching someone disappear in fragments and the longing to hold onto what slips away.
A tender and haunting reflection on loss, transformation, and the echoes that remain, Fading into Bloom invites readers to step into the fragile space between presence and absence—where love lingers, even as communication fades.
